Health insurance for self-employed and 1099 workers in Ohio
Whether you work out of Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati, or anywhere else in Ohio, self-employed and 1099 workers rarely get health benefits through an employer — so coverage is on you. A private PPO plan is built for exactly that: it enrolls year-round, uses a broad nationwide network that works throughout Ohio and across state lines, and the coverage is yours no matter who you work with.
Ohio has 4 of its largest metros in Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Toledo — and a private PPO gives you in-network access in each, plus everywhere your work takes you.
